520 _a"Ex Voto: An Account of the Sacro Monte or New Jerusalem at Varallo-Sesia" by Samuel Butler is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the significance of the Sacro Monte, a collection of chapels and religious sculptures in Varallo, Italy, established as a devotion to recreate the experiences of the Holy Land for those unable to travel there. Butler discusses the artistic contributions of various creators, especially focusing on the sculptor Tabachetti. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for an exploration of the Sacro Monte, beginning with Butler's reflections on prior literature and his own efforts to detail the site's rich historical and artistic significance. He mentions the various chapels that showcase life-sized figures crafted primarily from terra-cotta with realistic features, often enhanced with drapery and human hair. Additionally, he expresses a desire to inspire further research into the artistic accomplishments associated with this site, recounting the visionary experience of Bernardino Caimi, the founder of the Sacro Monte, and the diverse influences from artists that shaped its creation.
